I have only seen Hour of the Wolf, which I would give 4 stars. However, my comments relate to whether these discs have the complete picture or whether they are cropped.
I'd query the aspect ratio stated here. Apparently, the initial US DVD released by MGM was presented in 1.66:1 aspect ratio, even though the original was shot in 1.37:1!!! Nothing miraculous, they simply cropped the top and bottom of the screen. MGM accepted their error and reissued the discs in the correct aspect ratio.
I see the techical details on amazon.co.uk says 1.78:1 !!!
Does anyone know if this is released in 1.37:1, full screen (1.33:1), or some bizarre cropped version to make it seem 'wide-screen'? Obviously, I'd like to get the version closest to what Bergman / Nykvist filmed.
Thanks
